Hi Gnea... (only name I found in your message)
Thanks for the info! I just downloaded, compiled (no errors) and installed
zapping, but no luck. The moment I enabled the composite input, the system
crashes. It doesn't crash before, I guess, because by default the program
is receiving TV, and no cables is connected - hence no image.
This _does_ help to point to bttv (or the new i2c stack?) instead of xawtv as the
culprit of the situation. Some time ago I tested a webcam from the university here
and ran successfully an older version of bttv (with xawtv). I'll try to reinstall
those next. But then I've also seen some rumors about differences in the kernels
being the cause, and I'm not quite ready to go back to 2.2.10 or so.
Anyway, thanks again, any suggestions welcome.
John
